Back in 1988, when George Bush was on the presidential campaign trail looking for voters, he promised everyone that if he were elected president, he would be “the education president.”

Since he became president he has been saying he will be known as “the education president.”

Well, George, it’s a whole year later, and the American people want to know if you are going to keep the promise you made and how far you are willing to go to keep it.

The president has been revealing outlines and different details of his budget plan for 1991, and America is all ears concerning what he will say about funding education programs.

Bush, in separate press conferences at North Carolina State University and the University of Tennessee last Friday, finally began to unveil his big plans for education.

The highlights of the budget include a $500 million increase for pre-school Head Start programs, which were started many years ago to help underprivileged children but since then, have become less and less visible.

Also, Bush called a $100 million increase for the National Science Foundation and a $95 million raise in funding for math and science education grants to students.

“The time for action is now,” Bush said, explaining that enough studies have done about America’s education problem, and something must be done.

If that doesn’t show resolution, what does?
